Marine resource use and assessment

Training, delivered by the UMR MARBEC on the geographical site of Sète, France. This module develops the current context of fisheries and global climate change on the dynamics of marine ecosystems. In the perspective of better understanding and predicting the effects of fisheries and climate on marine ecosystems, the teaching module is structured around the identification of uses, assessment modes and modeling of marine resources dynamics.

Synthetic content of the EU:

Resource and fishery interactions. Analysis of marine trophic interactions. Temporal dynamics of exploited fish populations (species alternation, recruitment). Modeling of predator-prey systems. Bioenergetic modeling (DEB model). Analysis and processing of catch and effort data. Data analysis by GLM, GAM.

- Obtain targeted knowledge on the research themes developed in the ecology of exploited marine resources.

- Acquire general, concrete and fundamental skills on the marine and coastal environment.

- To enable students to better understand the environmental, social and economic challenges related to the preservation, sustainable exploitation and development of living marine resources.
